Gervinho Confirms Scudetto Aim

“I do not hide, we want the title.” These are the words spoken to Corriere dello Sport by Roma’s new summer purchase Gervinho.

Gervinho has been very complimentary of his new club and outlined the club’s objectives for the season. “Here I am training well and learning to mark,” he says, “It is really nice to work at this club. On the field we are very close and there are even those who speak English.” Objectives? The forward was clear: “Go back to play in Europe. The Scudetto is out of the question? No, and why? This team is good, the environment is compact, and we are determined. Trust me, we set very clear and serious objectives.”

The Ivorian also spoke about playing alongside talisman Francesco Totti: “I never thought about playing together with Totti. To me it’s almost a problem, I have to always be alert!”
